Chapter 207 Xiao Cheng is a kind person
"It's really Xu Lingyun!"
"So this is what Xu Lingyun looks like. He's just as handsome as I imagined!"
"Xu Lingyun, I don't like your song "Desire". It makes me so uncomfortable. You have to change it!"
…
The buzz of voices not only confused Director Lu and others, but also Cheng Xuyuan.
He didn't expect that he would meet so many young literary people just by attending a wedding.
Just as he was thinking about how to start, Director Lu glared at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Those who can come are basically the bride’s relatives and friends.
Many of these young people grew up under the care of Director Lu and his colleagues, so Director Lu is still very authoritative in front of these people.
He glared at them and they immediately quieted down.
Only the little girl rushed to Cheng Xuyuan regardless of anything and handed the notebook in her hand to Cheng Xuyuan.
Seeing the softcover book the girl handed over, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Do you want me to write something for you?"
"My name is Lu Hongmei, and I'm in high school now. You can write anything you want, I like it. My favorite is the song you wrote, "A Flowering Tree"!"
The little girl was not restrained at all. She looked at Cheng Xuyuan with eyes full of admiration.
Cheng Xuyuan was speechless. How could such a young girl only like poetry?
After a brief pause, Cheng Xuyuan wrote: "To my classmate Lu Hongmei, I hope you can take the wind as your companion, your dreams as your horse, and pursue your best years."
The signature is Xu Lingyun!
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan's handwriting, Lu Hongmei started to recite it directly. After reading it, she looked at Cheng Xuyuan with admiration and said, "Teacher Xu Lingyun, you write so well. Thank you."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Study hard."
"I will. I will study hard and try to get into Yenching University so that I can take classes with Teacher Xu."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Come on!" After all, young teenagers should be encouraged.
Director Lu was speechless. He had scolded his daughter countless times at home, but most of the time, he would say one thing and his daughter would retort.
But she didn't expect that her daughter would be so obedient in front of Cheng Xuyuan.
For a moment, this old father didn't know what to say.
At this time, Cheng Xuyuan said to the others: "Everyone, the father of the groom today is one of my elders."
“I’m definitely not leaving here.”
"Why don't we wait until the ceremony is over, and then sit down at the dinner table and have a good chat."
"I promise everyone that I will make sure everyone is satisfied before I leave."
After listening to Cheng Xuyuan's assurance and looking at Director Lu's glare, these young men from the bride's family reluctantly left.
Director Lu said to Cheng Xuyuan a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Cheng, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you with the situation today."
Cheng Xuyuan waved his hand and said, "Director Lu, this is nothing to be ashamed of."
"Everyone likes my work and gives me encouragement. I am so happy!"
Director Lu smiled and said, "I watched the play "The Pursuit of Happiness" adapted from your novel yesterday. The performance was really great."
"You don't know, we all burst into applause after a while."
"The actor bowed three times but was not allowed to leave. We were reluctant to let him go."
"If it weren't for Yaning's daughter getting married today, I would have wanted to buy another ticket and go watch it again."
Cheng Xuyuan still said modestly: "The performance of this drama is good, mainly because the actors of the People's Art Theater rehearsed hard, and it has little to do with me."
“If you really like the work, you don’t have to buy another ticket.”
"Director Xie Jin is planning to shoot this movie, and it should start filming soon."
“I think it will be released next year.”
"You can compare them again when the time comes and see what the difference is."
When they heard that "The Pursuit of Happyness" was going to be made into a movie and that it would be directed by Xie Jin, Director Lu and others immediately became interested.
People of their generation have watched quite a few movies directed by Xie Jin.
They were full of admiration for this great director.
Some people even regard this great director as their idol, but to them, Director Xie is too far away from them.
Most of the time, they just saw Director Xie's name on the movie screen.
But now, Director Xie is actually going to shoot "The Pursuit of Happyness".
Filming "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" written by Cheng Xuyuan.
"Mr. Cheng, did Director Xie contact you about making a movie?" asked a middle-aged man standing next to Director Lu.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "A few days ago, Director Xie came from Donghai and we met."
Although Cheng Xuyuan's words were light and casual, the way Director Lu and others looked at Cheng Xuyuan was a little different.
Qin Yewei sat aside, just serving tea and water, but his face was full of smiles.
Just as he expected, Xiao Cheng was still able to control the situation.
The wedding went smoothly and was very lively. Even during the meal, Feng Laoer performed a show called "Eating Noodles" with his old partner at the district cultural center.
Cheng Xuyuan also fulfilled his promise and had a good chat with the young people who came to escort the bride. It was not until around three o'clock in the afternoon that Director Lu and his party returned satisfied. Only then did he say goodbye and leave with Qin Yewei and others.
Old Li was full of gratitude towards Cheng Xuyuan.
When Cheng Xuyuan was about to leave, he shook Cheng Xuyuan's hand vigorously and said, "Xiao Cheng, this time, it's really thanks to you."
Cheng Xuyuan said with a hint of drunkenness: "Uncle Li, you helped me a lot when I first came to Yanjing."
"I didn't say anything at the time. If you thank me now, it means you don't consider me as your own."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, Old Li smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Li, you said the wrong thing. Come to my workplace sometime and we can have a good chat."
Cheng Xuyuan knew that Old Li still had a lot of things to do, so he said a few words of concern and then said goodbye and left with Qin Yewei, Feng Laoer and others.
After seeing the guests off, Old Li, the host, breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is to take stock of today’s income and expenditure. After all, there are many people giving wedding gifts, and a lot of money is spent.
This time, the person in charge of keeping accounts for Old Li was his cousin.
After explaining the accounts to Old Li, he took out an opened red envelope and said, "Brother, this is the gift from the young man named Cheng Xuyuan."
"I gave him a fifty-yuan remittance voucher."
"But wasn't this thing banned many years ago?"
Old Li was stunned for a moment. He knew about the Overseas Chinese Remittance Vouchers, and he also knew that the Vouchers had not been allowed to be used for a long time.
Cheng Xuyuan is not an outsider, so why would he give himself a remittance voucher as a gift?
"Don't tell anyone about this." Old Li thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "If anyone asks, just tell them that Xiao Cheng gave you a fifty-yuan gift."
"I think Xiao Cheng must have taken the wrong one."
"Cousin, we should tell him if he took the wrong one!" said Old Li's cousin.
Old Li shook his head and said, "Xiao Cheng didn't do it on purpose. What's more, he helped our family a lot today. Let's just leave it at that."
Hearing his cousin say this, Old Li's cousin opened his mouth but said nothing in the end.
Old Li took a look at the remittance voucher and then carefully put it in his pocket.
The next day, Old Li, who had been busy all day, got up on time.
Because his son is getting married, Mr. Li's company gave him a few days off, so he doesn't have to go to work today.
The family happily had breakfast, and the new daughter-in-law was about to take her husband shopping.
"Yaning, let's not go. We used a lot of tickets for our wedding this time, and we won't be able to buy anything if we go out shopping!" said the second son of old Li very sensibly.
Hearing this, Old Li frowned immediately.
How could my son speak to his new wife like this?
We have just gotten married, how are we going to live together in the future?
Just as he was about to take the money, he saw a hard card in his new wife's hand. She said, "My second aunt has relatives living abroad. When we got married this time, she asked my mother to give me a restored foreign exchange certificate."
"Here's twenty dollars!"
"We can buy anything on the coupon."
“No tickets are needed at all.”
Looking at the foreign exchange coupons in his daughter-in-law's hand, Old Li suddenly thought of the foreign exchange coupons given by Cheng Xuyuan. He couldn't help but ask, "Have the foreign exchange coupons been restored?"
"Dad, I just recovered not long ago."
“Some people don’t have many.”
Old Li ignored what his daughter-in-law said. He took out the foreign exchange certificate given by Cheng Xuyuan from his pocket and said, "Yaning, take a look at this. Is it a foreign exchange certificate?"
"Fifty dollars, Dad, where did you get this?"
"Do we have any relatives outside?"
With the restoration of foreign exchange coupons, having relatives and friends abroad suddenly became something to be envied.
The other people in Old Li's family also looked at Old Li at this time.
They are also very confused. Why don’t they know that their family has relatives abroad?
Old Li said, "This is a gift from Cheng Xuyuan. Please remember it."
"When Xiao Cheng gets married, we will also return the gift."
"By the way, since you guys are going shopping, take these fifty yuan foreign exchange certificates with you. Buy whatever you like."
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know that the fifty yuan foreign exchange coupons he gave were almost regarded as invalid by Old Li.
After he returned to school the next day, he first learned from Fang Yuqing that the radio station was going to broadcast his song "Desire". Naturally, Cheng Xuyuan had no objection to this.
After all, the money paid for broadcasting novels is not much, not to mention that broadcasting can further enhance one’s popularity.
Just when he was about to call Zhang Dening back as Zhang Dening requested, he met Chen Jianxun who came to look for him.
From Chen Jianxun, Cheng Xuyuan learned about what happened yesterday.
Although I was selfless, I couldn't help but feel fortunate.
If it were at school, there wouldn't be such a heated argument, but the scene at that time is enough to give me a headache just thinking about it.
"Xuyuan, I'm going to class first." Chen Jianxun patted Cheng Xuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and call Zhang Dening. Otherwise, with her temper, she will bring Shen Yumo to the school to look for you, which will be troublesome."
Hearing Chen Jianxun say this, Cheng Xuyuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He immediately walked towards a place in Yenching University where he could make a phone call, but what he didn't expect was that before he could make the call, someone called him and asked for him specifically.
This made Cheng Xuyuan look confused, and he wondered in his heart who could have called him at this time.
